These days there is an alarming rate of increase in children with bad pain, a condition which was until recently an adult phenomenon. There is also an increase in the number of children with spinal and muscle related problems. Both these issues by and large have the same root cause - bad posture. Thus it becomes imperative that we should not take any chances with the way our kids sit. By paying attention to our children’s posture, we can reduce the chances of them developing such long term back related problems. However this is easier said than done. It is a common sight to see parents struggling to get their children to quit slouching and sit with the right posture.

In today’s world, we witness a rising trend in child kidnapping and it is highly disturbing. Hence it becomes extremely important that a child must learn to keep itself safe. Parents must prepare their children for it. There are a number of things that parents these days can do to ensure the same.

Diana Baumrind, a developmental psychologist noticed that preschoolers exhibit 3 types of behavior and that these behaviours largely correlated with the parenting styles. Based on extensive studies, interviews and analyses, she identified three initial parenting styles: authoritative parenting, authoritarian parenting and permissive parenting in 1967. Maccoby and Martin later in 1983 expanded these parenting style model using a two-dimensional framework. They made further distinction by expanding Baumrind’s permissive parenting into two different types: indulgent (permissive) parenting and neglectful (uninvolved) parenting.

Over the years technology has had a huge impact on every aspect of our lives and parenting is no exception to that. We keep reading about how children these days get addicted to smartphones and similar gadgets and how it is necessary to limit their exposure to technology. This certainly is true, but there is no denying the fact that technology has helped the parents in more ways than one. Let’s have a look at the different ways in which technology has helped new parents.
